Modi e-mail slams Monday's meeting

Mumbai: Dear Shashank,

I disagree with you completely. The IPL has been given the powers by the general body to hold their own meetings and I'm sorry to say the honorary secretary has never called a GC since inception or is the convener. All he is actually is an ex-officio member of the GC as an office bearer of the BCCI and as he is a conflicted party who owns a team he has never and can now not too call a GC meeting. If the meeting does go ahead on the 26th of April instead of 1st of May as I have asked it will be deemed to be unofficial. I have not said meeting will not take place and all I have said is I want the time to prepare the agenda, circulate it and also make the documents available as per my mail below. As for you saying I had time again you are misinformed as I just returned from Dubai last night and was attending the ICC meeting which you asked me to attend on your behalf. Further as detailed in my email we have also had to move the matches from Bangalore and also we have the play offs and the awards. We are working 24x7 and as such have had no time to prepare or will have time to do so till 26th. I don't propose to attend any unauthorized meeting.

Regards
Lalit Modi
